If there are diverse kinds of knowledge and ways of knowing place, then we need to learn to value the different ways each of us sees a single place that is significant, but differently so, for each perspective.

If the time is destitute because it lacks the unconcealedness of pain, death and love, then in postmodernity we are experiencing a shift from the texts of literature to images produced by various visual regimes. We now live embedded in a visual culture.

CULTURE

Cultural blogs

The best in us has perhaps been inherited from the sensibilities of earlier ages to which we hardly any longer have access by direct paths; the sun has already set, but the sky of our life still glows with its light, even though we no longer see it. (Nietzsche, Human, All Too Human)

MiroCiphers1.jpg
Joan Miro, Ciphers and Constellations, in Love with a Woman, 1941. Gouache and terpentine on paper.

It is an innocent eye that does not appear to challenge visual primacy and which stands in contrast to Bataille's summoning of darkness and the usual slashing mutilation of the eye the surrealist tradition.

Is it the eye of the artist as seer?
